Second pair of wearable jeans, check! These ones are my version of skinny jeans, which means close-fitting but not super tight. They fit pretty much the way I want right out of the dryer, but after a few hours of wear they stretch out about 10% in width through the hips and thighs. So, do I make my pattern smaller but risk not being able to get them on, do I live with the extra bagginess, or do I use a different fabric? The next pair will have some spandex in them so I'll see how that works. I still have a list of fitting changes to make to the pattern but I feel like each pair should keep getting better. This has been really fun so far and I can't wait to have a whole new jeans wardrobe!
